Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 75 Rumors
Sun Shize took the list with a look of surprise and doubt. When he saw the names on the list, he exclaimed, "These are all genius students from Fengyun Academy. What are they planning to do?"

Jie Yuwei frowned. Was the man in black targeting the genius students of Fengyun Academy?

Are they going to kill all the geniuses in the academy?

What for?
Xie Yuwei and Sun Shize couldn't figure it out for the time being, so they put the matter aside for the time being.

They are now discussing the issue of Xie Yuwei's pseudonym.

Xie Yuwei said to Sun Shize, "You heard it just now, anyone who knows I am a high-level Card Spirit Master must die!"

Sun Shize knew he couldn't escape Xie Yuwei's grasp, so he pleaded, "My sister is still young, please let her go, she doesn't know anything."

Sun Xiaoxiao looked at Sun Shize nervously: "Brother!"

She turned to Xie Yuwei and pleaded, "Sister Xie, I swear, my brother and I won't reveal any information about you. Can you please let us go?"

“Okay!” Xie Yuwei said.

All she wanted was their attitude; she was willing to spare their lives if they promised not to leak her information.

She's not a bloodthirsty person.

What's more, these brother and sister in front of us are still children!

Sun Shize and Sun Xiaoxiao both exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Xie Yuwei's words.

Why did she let them go so easily?

Looking at Xie Yuwei's ambiguous smile, Sun Shize understood everything.

From the very beginning, Xie Yuwei never intended to take their lives.

"Thank you, Miss Jie, for saving us and for still believing in us!" Sun Shize said gratefully.

Although Xie Yuwei intended to let them go, she still needed to use deterrence when necessary.

"Remember what you said today. If my identity information was leaked from you, I will not let this go."

"At that time, even your two lives will not be enough to quell my anger."

Xie Yuwei's meaning was self-evident: if they leaked her information, she would not only take their lives, but also the lives of their families in Shuangbai Town.

Sun Shize and Sun Xiaoxiao's hearts tightened; they remembered Xie Yuwei's reminder.

This accident occurred on the way to Tiansheng City, and the group of armed men from Tieshanhe and the people from Shuangbai Town became more cautious.

As they were about to enter the outskirts of Tiansheng City, they passed a teahouse and decided to rest there.

When Xie Yuwei led her younger siblings into the teahouse, she immediately realized that the owner of the teahouse was a high-level Card Spirit Master.

Considering the rampant monsters in the outside world, would anyone dare to build a teahouse in this desolate place unless they were a highly skilled individual?
Xie Yuwei and her group of five children, accompanied by a group of guards, clearly indicated that they were students heading to Fengyun Academy.

For such talented individuals, the merchants coming and going in the teahouse still give them some face.

When they entered the teahouse to rest, they were not harassed by the adults.

Xie Yuwei and Sun Shize found a table and sat down, and Tie Shanhe and the others also sat down around their table.

They asked the owner for tea, and just as they were about to make do with their dry rations for lunch, they overheard people around them talking:

"Do you know that a new Heavenly Maiden Card Maker has emerged in Tiansheng City?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

The cards created by the Celestial Card Maker caused a stir in the Card Spirit World. Her cards were unpredictable, both magical and powerful.

Everyone wants her cards; how could they not know about her? "Some time ago, the five great families clashed with the Card Spirit Hall in an attempt to find the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker."

"Even with the five great families joining forces and even their elders being mobilized, they were still stopped by the people from the Kaling Hall."

"Hiss, is the Karling Hall that powerful? It's said that the Karling Hall is backed by Marquis Weiyuan? Is that true? Or not?"

"Who cares if it is or not? The Card Hall has released a new batch of weapon cards, and they are using these weapon cards to turn the tide."

"Weapon cards are that powerful?"

"It must be really powerful! I've heard that martial artists can also use these weapon cards. With weapon cards, martial artists can compete with card spirit masters."

"Unexpectedly, the world situation is about to change! If the martial artists can grow stronger, the human race may still be able to survive for a while during the continental war."

"Don't think like that. There is still hope for us humans. The Celestial Card Maker is our hope."

"Don't say that. I heard from the rumors that the five great families can't win over the Heavenly Maiden Card Makers, so they're planning how to destroy them."

Tie Shanhe overheard these comments and glanced at Xie Yuwei discreetly.

Xie Yuwei seemed unaware of who the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker was, and she took out a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) from her package and started eating it.

Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei sat obediently beside her.

Everyone ate their dry rations while listening to the discussions inside the tea stall.

A commotion suddenly broke out on the official road ahead. People in the teahouse heard the noise and rushed out to see what was happening.

Xie Yuwei and Sun Shize were not to be outdone; the two squeezed to one side of the crowd and looked toward the noisy area.

Ahead, several martial artists were chasing after several card spirit masters.

Those martial artists all held weapon cards personally crafted by Jie Yuwei, and those cards were all of intermediate level.

With intermediate-level weapon cards in their hands, these warriors slashed the opposing card spirit masters until they were left with nothing.

"What's going on? This is the outskirts of Tiansheng City, why are these martial artists killing people?"

"You see, that's how terrifying a martial artist can be once they have a weapon card."

Seeing how swift and merciless these martial artists were, the people in the teahouse assumed they were heinous villains. Just as they were about to intervene to rescue the card masters opposite them, they heard one of the martial artists say:
"These card spirit masters have set traps outside Tiansheng City to capture newly enrolled disciples of Fengyun Academy, attempting to extract their Qi Sea for their own use. They are utterly wicked! The prefect has ordered us to come out and wipe them out."

"If you cannot help, please do not aid and abet evil!"

The busybodies who were about to take action immediately stopped.

These martial artists are government officials!

No wonder they got the weapon cards.

Xie Yuwei and Sun Shize, who were in the crowd, heard what the martial artists were saying. They looked at each other and wondered if the men in black they had encountered earlier were from these organizations.
In the chaos ahead, a few Card Spirit Masters broke through the warriors' defenses and tried to escape.

Xie Yuchen immediately shouted, "They're trying to escape!"

"We also encountered these assassins on our way to Tiansheng City!"

Upon hearing Xie Yuchen's words, the merchants in the teahouse immediately believed that what the martial artists said was true.

They would kill such a young child; they must not be good people.

Almost as soon as Xie Yuchen finished speaking, someone in the teahouse made a move.
